There is a famous Arab saying. It goes
انا واخي قبل إبن عمي وانا وإبن عمي قبل الغريب
It reads my brother before my cousin, and my cousin before a stranger. Somalians have lot of problems, but they are my cousins, and habeshas are a stranger. I know Somalian intentions, but I do not know the intentions of the habesha.
One day we are your brothers/cousins. Next day we your number 1 enemy. :kanyehmm:

Just be glad this deal isn’t happening for the sake of ur blood pressure sxb
Your mentioning *this* deal, while I’m referring to the one farmaajo wanted, his deal was okay, it’s what somalia wanted anyway, to be a port gateway to the rest of Africa.
 
Ethiopia will recognise somaliland before signing of the deal for the simple reason that it will give it legal cover. You know the issue of recognising a country or not is a bilateral issue, that is why you here of countries recognising Taiwan and then unrecognising it again after being enticed by China. So recognising somaliland before signing the deal will give Ethiopia the legitimacy of signing with a partner country. A lot of somalis don't understand matters dealing with recognition. They confuse it with a seat in worldy institution like the United nations where you need not a veto from any permanent security Council member. So you can have a country that is recognised as a country and dealt with as such and not being a member of the UN, kosovo, Taiwan and the such. And this countries exchange full diplomatic relations and enter into binding agreements with recognising countries.

Difference is SL doesn’t control all the territories it claims while those other countries do. The only way SL will get complete control is through war, but global support for SL hinges on it being more peaceful than Somalia. SL lost a lot of goodwill with the international community after what happened in Las Anod, and more violence will just further damage SL’s image
